MBCI worked with the architectural firm Williams & Dean Associates from
Little Rock, Ark., general contractor HDI General Contractors from Harrison,
Ark., and roofing contractor Paramount Metal Systems from Little Rock to
install a durable, NuRoof Retrofit Framing System over the existing flat roof
of First Federal Bank in Mountain Home, Ark. They then used MBCI’s LokSeam
panels over the retrofit framing system to complete the roofing project.
MBCI offered the advantage of having both a retrofit system and roofing panels
and provided its expertise and knowledge to confirm the new roof would work as
intended.
MBCI’s metal roofs are economical, have the ability to withstand harsh weather
conditions and provide a long lifespan compared to other conventional roofing
materials.
MBCI Product Information
First Federal Bank utilized MBCI’s NuRoof Retrofit Framing System by installing
it over an existing flat roof. This project required 12,000 square feet of the
MBCI LokSeam 18-inch standing seam roof system. The 24-gauge metal was coated
in Harbor Blue from MBCI’s Signature 300 Series (PVDF) paint
system.
MBCI’s NuRoof Retrofit Roof System is a fully designed roof system used mostly
to re-roof an existing building. However, it can also be used in new
construction. The design of NuRoof addresses flat roof construction that has
poor weathertightness, problematic rainwater discharge, high maintenance costs
or all of these issues.
The NuRoof system utilizes light-gauge steel framing installed over the
existing roof and framing members to create a slope. Typically, a standing seam
metal roof, such as MBCI’s LokSeam panel, is installed over the new sloped
framing system, creating a ventilated attic space. The existing roof’s physical
footprint, framing system and other rooftop conditions will most likely control
the new roof’s geometry. A low-slope application is usually driven by economy
and designed simply to discharge rainwater from the roof. High-slope
applications are designed to improve and update the look of an existing
building in conjunction with improving the performance of the
roof.
The proper framing design, metal roof system, insulation package and
ventilation are important factors that will reduce your operating costs and
give you a low maintenance roof for many years.
LokSeam is available in widths of 12 inches, 16 inches and 18 inches. It is one
of the six complete and separate standing seam roof systems available from MBCI.
MBCI also offers a complete line of exposed fastener panels, structural shapes,
accessories and trim.
